If I can have my Summer back, that'd be nice.

So today, I've got to go to the doctors to get an injection. It's not a blood-test, it's for hay fever. Yes, every year, for about four months, I find that I can't venture outside without being smacked upside the head with sneezing and a blocked nose. However, this injection should solve it for about a month and a half, which is a massive blessing as I love Summer about four hundred times more than any other time of the year (except 31st March, jus' saying). I had the injection last year, and it was a surprise, mostly because I rolled my shirt sleeve up only to be told "nope, guess again". But, it worked, and it was well worth it just to get my Summer back. I love Summer; I love that a t-shirt and shorts are all that's needed, that it's daytime until about 9:15, that sitting by a river or a pool becomes more enjoyable and less masochistic, but mostly, because it just makes everything that much more awesome. Therefore, it'd be nice to experience it without filling my pockets with tissues and sounding like the man from the Tunes advert.

I'm enjoying it now, because apparently its mighty work gets less and less effective every time I have one. This means that in a few years, it'll be totally useless, and I'll have to use what appears to be the world's most expensive item per weight: hay fever tablets. I mean, really? £6 for 7 little tablets that don't work? This is a bit rubbish, and if you don't suffer from hay fever, then count yourself lucky. If I truly want to rid myself of hay fever, I'd need to leave the country, and that seems a bit drastic. I mean, where would I go? I suspect most of Europe will give me the same problem, and the rest of the world is expensive. Libya's somewhat out of the question now, because of their uprising that's apparently not an uprising. What does that make it then? A misunderstanding?

Whatever, for the moment, I'll enjoy the fact that hay fever is my number one worry right now. For example, I could be a sardine! That'd suck. For those that don't know, there were approximately a million dead sardines in a marina in California. Seriously, residents woke up apparently to an awful smell and, after much blaming the other person, they looked outside to find the marina so clogged, they couldn't take their boats out. Now, you'd feel sorry for the fishes if they were poisoned, or over fished, but what killed them? Well, apparently they all crammed in there during a storm, and used up the oxygen supply. Now, that is a serious fail when even a fish drowns. At least spending your summer sneezing is not that bad!

So the toasty weather is coming over the next few months. Dust out the BBQ, the t-shirts and enjoy it. And spare a thought for those who are reduced to a sneezing wreck while trapped inside.
